#Myanmar #military security forces seem to be using more powerful weapons to disperse protesters.

First, they killed Rohingya. Now, they kill it’s own people. And the world leaders are busy on tables and media. The World needs urgent action to stop this Dictator Junta. Just sending condemnation on a piece of paper is unacceptable.#StandWithMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar pic.twitter.com/qQqNTMxev2

Karen refugees return to Myanmar after Thailand ordered them back, despite fear of more air strikes. "Karen people have been oppressed and bullied so much," said the refugee filming the scene.
